Reusing deleted sites in Buddypress

SOS - Stuck on Stupid:
I forget that I have to create new blogs via the new group creation process and will create the new site on the backend. Well I need to use a particular naming format for all blogs and when attempting to use the same name I get saying the site is in use and no longer available. My initial guess is to remove this from the DB possibly using phpMyAdmin. Can someone confirm and guide me on where to do this?

Sorry, that site already exists! However, you may continue with the blog address as listed below. We suggest adjusting the group name in group details following these requirements. » Only letters and numbers allowed. » Must be at least 4 characters. » Has to contain letters as well.

Another thing which sucks is not being able to select a blog I create on the back-end from the drop down list or being able to enter an alternate name of blog you're trying to create. Is there a plugin available which controls this process?

I initially went through the process of creating the blog in the dashboard, realized I had to create it on the front-end through BP so I deleted it from the dashboard. Now when I create a new group and try to create a new blog with that same name it returns this error. So technically the blog doesn't exist as it's been deleted from the dashboard. My guess is that it still resides in the database so it's probably just a matter of locating and removing it via phpMyAdmin. That's my "best guess".
